Abstract: A retention assembly for a charging station for a vehicle is provided. The assembly has a ground latch bracket to receive a cover latch bracket extending from a cover of a charging pad. The assembly also has a locking mechanism with a ground locking bracket to mount to the ground surface, a support bracket to connect to the cover, and a sliding bracket. The sliding bracket translates relative to the support bracket to lock and unlock the locking mechanism with inclined flanges of the ground locking bracket mating with inclined flanges of the support bracket and sliding bracket when the locking mechanism is in a locked position. A charging assembly having a retention assembly, and a method of positioning the charging station is also provided.

Abstract: In at least one embodiment, an inductive charging coil assembly for a vehicle comprising a first base plate and a second base plate is disclosed. The first base plate includes at least one first coil for transmitting magnetic flux. The second base plate includes at least one second coil having a top side and a bottom side to receive the magnetic flux for charging a vehicle. The at least one second coil defines a window to position at least one ferrite on the top side and on the bottom side of the at least one second coil. The at least one ferrite is arranged to guide the magnetic flux from the bottom side of the at least one second side to the top side of the at least one second side and back to the bottom side of the at least one second side.
